Programming for Our Clients

A ropes course, also known as a challenge course, is a series of activities and structures made of wood and cables. Your group will navigate these structures, called elements, while our staff members facilitate. Through your group's efforts, issues that typically take weeks or even months to address can be brought to the forefront within hours due to participants feeling challenged and "out of their element". Beyond being merely fun, ropes courses provide a powerful and rewarding experience.

We recognize and embrace the diversity of groups taking advantage of our course. Many factors are considered while planning and implementing your day at the UVM ARC, especially group context and group and individual goals. Our facilitators have a wealth of experience and training, and are skilled at flexing with your group throughout the day as group dynamics necessitate.
